if he started the ezcema at around 3 months , go for the pead immuneoligist route.
with the thought that those that dont ask dont get!!)
for added support/gp pressure, ring for support from allergy uk, get a your nearest allergy pead's name and clinic details.
DO get the allergy bedding, something that should have been mentioned to you by your skin doc.
there are sites on internet that provide allergy bedding , you will need to get duvet , mattress and pillow protectors.
I got some from wilkinsons a couple of months ago in a sale, william is fine with them!!
you should also,
damp dust his room
boil wash his bedding
take his teddies of his bed.
freeze them overnight before washing them and tumble drying them.
if he has a carpet in his room , consider replacing , until then, vacume only using a cleaner that is good for removing the dustmites.
Most clothes for children should be washed at 40%, this often leaves some of the ezcema creams on the clothes.
it also rots the elastic in waistbands etc.
put the clothes in a bucket of cold salty water over night before washing. ( keep this away from children, re drowining danger)
dont dry clothes on rads, dont warm clothes on rads before wearing. ie PJ's on rad while having a bath.
frequent cool baths are good for some, because you then trap moist water on skin.
be very careful about hygeine when storing or using the tubs of creams. Use a tablespoon to remove from tub before applieing to skin.
Also think back to this,
did the ezcema on your childs legs improve when he started walking?
if he sits on a carpet or sofa , does he scratch the backs of his legs?
When summer/winter starts , have you pulled out from a cupboard last years hats etc , put them on , only to find child stands itching head coninually?
if he jumps on a bed, does he go red and itch?
if he wriggles under a bed, does he spend time , standing itching?
if he does , its dustmite!!
AS FOR GOATS MILK, THATS A BIG NO NO
if you suspect milk intolerance, or allergy, the lactose is present in both goats and cows milk.
a child with gut problems needs at least 6 weeks on a fully protein changed formula before moviing on to the partially changed ones. just to give tummy time to recover.
I would suspect that some time is needed for skin prone to eczema as well.
Also the NANNY brand of milk is not recommended. it has been taken off NHS prescriptions, not because of its poor effect, but mainly because the company has never submitted its product to health and safety testing.
hope this is helpful.
